New Delhi: Supreme Court today will hear pleas seeking
removal of anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protesters from Delhi’s
Shaheen Bagh area. Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court had said that it
would take up on Monday the two public interest litigations (PIL)
seeking directions to the Central government for laying down guidelines
relating to restrictions for holding protests leading to obstruction to
public places.

A two-judge bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan
Kaul and also comprising Justice KM Joseph on Friday said that they will
take up the matter on February 10. “We do understand that there is a
problem,” the apex court had said after advocate Shashank Deo Sudhi said
that this court should pass appropriate directions to the concerned
authorities as far as the protestors in Shaheen Bagh is concerned.

The
PIL, filed by Dr Nand Kishore Garg and Amit Sahni through their lawyer
Shashank Deo Sudhi earlier last week, sought appropriate directions to
the Centre and others for removal of protesters from Shaheen Bagh near
Kalindi Kunj.

It said that people in Shaheen
Bagh are illegally protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act
(CAA) 2019, by blocking the common and public road connecting Delhi to
Noida.
